I checked yesterday and couldn't find the script in the archives as well. 
Too bad, so it's lost for now. The idea was actually pretty simple: since 
original and translated messages follow each other, just grep them for the 
type of number of %X sequences and check that they coincide. Also check 
that their order is the same. If not, print an error message.

If people think that this is helpful, I can re-create the script. My 
original idea was to plug it into the Makefile, so that bootstraps would 
break if messages contained errors. This proved unfeasible due to the 
number of problems.

I am really surprised that this is not an issue the translation project 
has already encountered -- other projects must have the same issues, and 
such a script would be universally useful!?
